And when his ex Taylor arrived, he told her that he was just getting with Zahida because he "felt sorry for her".

But since then, Zahida and Sean have been seeing each other.

Zahida, who returns to TV screens tonight in the new series of Geordie Shore , chatted to Mirror Online about what happened with her and Sean.

She explained that Geordie Shore was filmed in two parts, and while her and Sean were together all along, they weren't official until after she'd finished her first filming stint.

She said: "It's been done in two parts, the first part we told each other we loved each other and were with each other almost every day, but we just didn't have a label on it because we'd only been seeing each other for two months, and it was just one of them things, he hadn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet.

"I got offered Geordie Shore five days before I went in and when I came out he asked me to be his girlfriend. I think he wanted to do it sooner but he just wasn't sure if he wanted to be in a relationship or not."

But how did they end up together after what happened on Ex On The Beach?

Zahida said: "It's a funny one because I didn't know that he'd said these things, and obviously she came in and said he did say that and I didn't believe her.

"She basically said to me that she wanted commitment from Sean but she obviously missed out the part where she was the opportunity, she was just the girl that Sean would sleep with so she was irrelevant and that's why he never told me her name.

"Then she came in and I started to figure it all out."

The reality babe added: "She knew she couldn't have Sean so she didn't want me to have him either. When we finished filming he had four days where the truth comes out then about what happened. He had told me everything in the villa but it wasn't shown. But she wasn't the girl he wanted to commit to, she was just the girl he wanted to sleep with and she was bitter about it.

"I think he said all that to play up for the cameras and be a single lad. We didn't argue about it but I told him that it never cut off to me saying bad things about him, it doesn't, and I never fancied any of the other boys and I never near any of the other girls' exes, but I did continuously watch him saying I was second choice and it did hurt.

"I'm happy with him now. It changed straight away but obviously sometimes I think it might have been different if she'd stuck.

"It was filmed months and months ago and I don't hold grudges. I think sometimes I am maybe too forgiving, but I don't know."

Zahida also addressed rumours that she'd cheated on Sean with Geordie Shore co-star Scotty T while filming the series.

She said: "We shared a taxi ride. If someone thinks I've slept with Scott I wish they'd ask. I haven't slept with him, we shared a taxi journey and he gets in and Scott's Scott, he just grabs everyone and he put his arm around me and kissed me.

"I think that's going to upset Sean but I'm a 22-year-old girl, I went into the Geordie Shore house not knowing what I was getting into."
